Free to good home. FL51XVS. I'll list the MOT fails later when I get home. North east Aberdeenshire (Peterhead). SORN. Will keep for a week, if no interest, destined for big garage in the sky as need to free up space. All docs.

Shame. If nobody takes it, may be worth braking it and getting some of your money back on it.

Can't work out how to show images here but I've shared a One Drive folder at https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsDPn9W7yzNnmhK4ELLRiUbforl7
If there are any particular images anyone needs, let me know and I'll add them to this folder, thanks, Mark

Pics of the rear spoiler are to show a scuff mark and some paint crazing - it makes the chrome strip look faulty but that's actually just reflections. Some minor rust starting to come through at bottom of rear near side passenger door too. I'll keep this thread going until end of week which will be my deadline for disposal.
